Notes:
Guinea keets, reared to 12 wk on a modified turkey starter and grower diet, were processed like broilers and thigh and breast meat samples analyzed. Proximate analysis for breast and thigh meat without skin was: dry matter 25.4 and 24.0%; protein 22.7 and 19.4%; hexane extractables 0.86 and 2.2%; and ash 1.06 and 1.05% respectively. Total cholesterol in breast meat was 40.6 mg/100g raw tissue, and 62.1 mg in the thigh. Also included were analyses for Na, K, Ca, Mg, P, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid and the fatty acid profiles of the meat and skin. Guinea meat was found to be lower in fat, sodium and cholesterol and higher in potassium, phosphorus, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin B6 than broiler meat.
